'Royal Scrambler' custom Royal Enfield Continental GT

I like the looks of the Royal Enfield Continental GT in its stock cafe racer form.

But in custom form, the "Royal Scrambler" by Analog Motorcycles sets the standard for Royal Enfield's cafe racer. I encountered it at the U.S. launch of the Royal Enfield Himalayan this month in Texas. Disclosure: Royal Enfield provided transportation, accommodation, food, entertainment and keepsakes to me at this product launch. The following opinions are my own.

I can't explain it, but the Royal Scrambler manages to look simultaneously clean, lean, tough, very fast and yet surprisingly pretty.

Like several other Analog Motorcycles customs, the Royal Scrambler has been featured on BikeEXIF. It's worthwhile to look at the gallery of Royal Scrambler photos there.

With all the other swell details, here's the one that gets me: you'd expect to see side panels filling the triangle of the frame just ahead of the rear wheel. But, no. It's — empty. This visually lightens the bike tremendously.
